Java Everywhere: A

Comprehensive Guide
Java is one of the most widely used programming languages in the world. This
presentation will give you an in-depth look at what Java is and why it's so popular.
What is Java?
Origins
Java was created by James Gosling
and his team at Sun Microsystems
in the early 1990s. It was initially
developed for interactive television,
but its language features made it
ideal for the web.
Features
Known for its "write once, run
anywhere" slogan, Java is a highly
flexible programming language that
can run on any platform without the
need for recompilation. It's also
object-oriented, secure and easy to
learn.
Applications
Java is widely used for developing
web, mobile and desktop
applications, as well as server-side
applications and cloud computing
environments. It's also a popular
choice for building enterprise-scale
software.

JRE vs JDK
The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is
necessary to run Java applications, while the
Java Development Kit (JDK) is required to
write and compile code.
